An awful service, delivery failed to turn up, no update on a text, just a no show, I contacted customer service to sort out delivery and they blamed the delivery company, I did not purchase through the delivery company but through John Lewis. I asked to speak to a manager and I was disconnected after holding ages. I will never purchase again from John Lewis

NEVER, NEVER buy an applicance from John Lewis. The manufacturers have John Lewis over a barrel when a fault develops. Even after four attempted repairs and a promised replacement they have to rely on the maufacturer for authorisation in order to facilitate the replacement. Never heard anything like it!!!

Fantastic tv... puts my Sony Bravia I have in the living room to shame.. currently have this set up in my bedroom, like my personal cinema, don’t understand some of the reviews saying from different positions they can’t see the tv? No problems at all.. sound and picture perfect.. Ian&darren who delivered it were great.. fantastic product and service.

Really poor service from John Lewis. I ordered a perfume online to be delivered to my home, however I didn't get my order. Their chosen courier, Hermes, advised me by email that they had delivered the parcel to a secure location, but in fact they had left it in my council bin (on my driveway). The bin was emptied later that day by the council, taking the parcel with them. I raised a complaint with John Lewis, as a council owned bin is not a safe place to leave a valuable parcel. In addition the courier was at fault for advising the delivery was left in my Porch (which my property does not even have!). However I was told by a John Lewis customer advisor that a council bin was a perfectly acceptable place to leave a parcel and as far as they were concerned, they had fulfilled their duty of care. I raised this with American Express who agreed with my logic and closed the case in my favour issuing me a full refund. However it's unacceptable that John Lewis would not process a refund when their courier was clearly at fault. I expected more from such a well known high street brand.

We will not buy there again Our experience at John Lewis and Peter Jones was very disappointing. We ordered in store an expensive furniture piece. Few weeks later they delivered a wrong item, more over the delivery company left it downstairs, because they didn’t manage to put it into elevator. Come on! They need to clarify such things before delivery, not when they are downstairs. I have a baby and obviously couldn’t lift it up alone. The item was the wrong one! They didn’t even see me or gave me any documents, so I had no chance to check the item before accepting it. Support line was almost useless, I had to chase them for a week to ask to collect the wrong delivery, as it was big and took a lot of space. After collection they promised to reorder or find our requested idem. 6 weeks later no news. Today I called and after waiting 40 minutes on the line was told that they haven’t yet looked into whether our item was sent somewhere else or has not been made at all. 2.5 months and a lot of wasted time and problems. We have asked for a refund. I hope this will take less time Polina

Appalling customer service when product gets faulty ! As a customer I had to proof that there is manufacturer warranty !?!? JL would not take accountability for the faulty product ! Once they spoken to the manufacturer they did not want to speak to me and I've been told I need to from that moment contact manufacturer ! Dear JL I've purchased the product from you and you should be resolving the problem !

They completely ignoring me cause their failed system, shows different purchase date.I bought a fridge and a washing machine last day on offer with and advert with big letters saying cash back! The time of the purchase the store was closing so salesman gave me the quote and suggested to pay next day, which i did pay in full cash. Now not only telling me i am not eligible for cash back from Miele but 3 weeks now completely ignore my emails trying to explain. Amazing they didnt have any problem taking my money.

I ordered good from John Lewis online for click and collect. I got a message next day to say had been dispatched. The same day I got another message saying my good had not been delivered. Then had Zero communication. Phoned store on Saturday who said did not have parcel. Phone HO Tuesday store did have parcel and would hold for another week. Went today no parcel has been sent back. Turns out parcel did arrive in store on the Friday. So member of staff spoke to on the Saturday lied to me (as it was i the store) and so did the man at head office (who told me another story). But, worst of all he said the parcel would be help till Tuesday 5th November. Lego my son wanted for xmas is now out of stock and difficult to get elsewhere. So he has no Christmas present. Poor customer staff, incompetent staff that lie and a child who may now not get what he wanted for xmas. John Lewis is not longer the company it used to be.

Appalling customer service. If something goes wrong they take no responsibility just pass you to the manufacturer despite the contract you have is with them not the manufacturer!! Consumer Act says you have the contract with them. Dishwasher less than 8 weeks old and not working. Can't get answers to repair date so if carries on will be taking legal advice as to how to get refund as cannot waste any more time or money on a resolution 😡

Bought an AEG washing mahine for around £450 from JL. It had a two year guarantee. The bearings went after 15 months. Turns out the repair has to be done by a tinpot repair company with one repair man with a van that doesn't work to cover a huge area. Neither JL nor AEG could get hold of them. It will take a whole month to get it repaired - maybe. I bought this from JL, not AEG or the repair man. JL admit that their service is bad, but "there's nothing we can do". Yes there is JL - provide a replacement machine. Have shopped there for over twenty years, spending many £1,000s. Never again. Seriously, never again. There are many, many other outlets providing much better service these days. Oh JL, what happened??

Ordered curtains with a 7-day service. It took almost 2 months to install. Even then they missed the install date twice due to order issues on their side. Then finally when installer came, they were missing parts, so need to book again (and take another day off work). John Lewis service has gone down the toilet. They are living on their past name. No wonder they are having problems.

SELLING FAULTY GOODS AND THEN NOT WILLING TO SEND REPLACEMENT PARTS. We purchased two 35 mm curtain pole kits produced by John Lewis. One did not come with the necessary brackets to attach to the wall. I went into the store and asked for replacement parts. They checked for me and unfortunately did not have any in stock. They told me to contact the customer service number and ask for a replacement. The service number told me they refused to send replacement parts as I ordered in a store and not online. Their only solution for me was to try and haul a 2 m long pole back into the store for a replacement.

After purchasing an £800 cooker, 7 months later a crack appeared on the induction hob. Took this up with JL who said it was accidental damage and I would have to pay for the repair myself. No one came out to assess the damage and I denied damaging it myself but it was assumed as “95% of damage is accidental”! I was furious with this response and, to cut a long story short, it has taken me 3 months to sort it, numerous phone calls, additional expense at having to buy a steamer because I could only use 2 of the rings. Customer service has been poor to say the least and, after years of being a loyal customer spending thousands of pounds in their store in Sheffield, I will no longer be shopping here because the recent experiences have been so bad. Their attitude is take it or leave it. Well I’m leaving it & will be shopping elsewhere in future!

Definitely the worst experience with any online purchase. No point in going any further as I am compiling all the documentation to take this matter to the Small Claims Court.

I’m sadened to have to write this, my experience of John Lewis customer service has been horrendous. I can’t believe the company i’ve spend thousands with in the past year, gets it so wrong. Purchased some light fitttings which they shipped with Royal Mail. Stayed home on day of delivery, but no attempt was made. Contacted John Lewis, who were very abrupt and immediately defensive for some strange reason. Nevertheless I followed their advice and arranged redelivery on the Royal Mail web site. The following day stayed in again, and yet again, no delivery attempt and the tracking stated the item was being returned to sender. Spoke to John Lewis on their live chat, and to say the person was rude and unhelpful would be an understatement. I tried to politely explain the situation and how i’d paid for an electrician to install the lights, stayed in for 2 days, and now the parcel was heading back to them for an unbeknown reason. Rather than offer any kind of help, investigate the matter or even empathise, she immediate became defensive and said this my fault. Just like the agent from the previous day. I was puzzled as this whole experience was so un-John Lewis like. I gave up when i realised she had no intention to help and just quoted policy items about a possible refund within 14 days of when they received the items back, and that if i wanted the products, i should just place another order. I thought why would i after everything that had happened.. So just over a week later, I don’t have the products, i stayed in 2 days, paid for an electrician who couldn’t do anything, and John Lewis has my monies and i’ll have to chase this up again in two weeks. I thought maybe mine was an isolated incident. The lack of service and manner in which the agent dealt with me, the whole impersonal and somewhat hostile experience, but having checked on Trust Pilot, i am shocked to find thousands of others with similar experiences. Surely John Lewis won’t survive in the long term with this standard. It really puzzles me.

The staff and Managers , call centre every department l encountered were absolutely the most unprofessional Company l have come across. Im amazed lm talking about JOHN LEWIS. I feel the partnership is full of arrogance with most staff have no true meaning of their investment given to them as part of the Company. I will never shop there again.
